I was lucky enough to secure a TC from that VS so didn't need time off for any others. My employer was flexible and allowed me to use some unpaid leave for the VS (you get paid a certain amount by the firm for doing the VS so can use that to top up any financial commitments). I would personally recommend doing a VS if you're career changing as it is a big commitment leaving your current career and going back to law school for the GDL/LPC before starting out at the bottom of the pecking order as a trainee. A VS gives you the opportunity to really test out whether it is the right environment for you and to get to speak to people at the firm to make your own mind up if it is the right move. I found the firm were really interested in my work experience and it definitely helped in securing a TC at the end of the scheme. Vac schemes are as much about you checking if the firm/career is for you as they are an opportunity for the firm to check your suitability.</blockquote>
